CVP EXAM 1 REVIEW; QUESTIONS
WITH DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS;
ALREADY GRADED A; 2026
How can you measure exercise intensity? - correct answer-
HR, BP, RPE DOE
How can you prevent CV deconditioning with bed rest? -
correct answer- - mobilization as soon as possible
How do you determine intensity for pulmonary rehab? -
correct answer- - based on patients symptoms from an
initial exercise test!!!
- RPE 11-14
- DOE 1-4
- 75-85% of speed from 6MWT
How do you differentiate between chronic bronchitis and
pulmonary emphysema? - correct answer-
,How do you do an inspection of the chest wall (breathing
pattern assessment)? - correct answer- Look before you
palpate
Look in all planes (anterior,posterior, lateral)
Be systematic- start at the nose and work your way down
How do you use HR to guide intensity for pulmonary rehab? -
correct answer- - 60-85% of MPHR (208-(.7xage))
- may be misleading because pts can achieve RPE scores >14 and
DOE >5 under training ranges
- HR in correlation w/ O2 desaturation
--> Keep pt at 10-15% below HR seen w/ O2 desaturation
How does mucus plugging progress in CF? - correct answer-
- begins in distal airways and slowly progresses proximally
- mucus plugging creates chronic bronchiectasis
How does muscle atrophy occur in bed rest? - correct
answer- - postural muscles first (up to 1/8th lost in 1 week)
- skeletal muscle: LE(weight bearing) first
,How does supplemetal O2 work? - correct answer- -
Creates a reservoir of O2 that is drawn upon on each inhalation
- the higher the flow the more the reservoir fills
- some devises increase reservoir size
How is manual percussion, vibration, and postural drainage
done? How does it work? - correct answer- - cupped
hand over one or multiple lobes; key is "hollow" sound
- done to loosen secretions and enhance mvmt to the proximal
airways
- percussion is typically followed by chest wall vibrations
- performed in brochial/postural drainage positions
How much extracellular fluid is lost in the first 3 days of bed
rest? - correct answer- 15-20%
What are abnormal breath sounds? - correct answer-
decreased, absent, transposition, adventitious
What are adventitious breath sounds? - correct answer-
Abnormal breath sounds such as wheezing, stridor, rhonchi, and
crackles.
, What are crackles breath sounds? - correct answer- -
discontinuous lungsounds that sound like brief bursts of popping
bubbles
- more common in inspiration
- causes: opening of closed airways, mvmt of air through
secretions or fluid
What are normal bronchial breath sounds? - correct
answer- - over ULs close to the sternum
- high pitched, hollow and loud
-exp is longer than insp
- pause between I and E
What are normal bronchovesicular chest sounds? - correct
answer- - over sternal angle of louis and lower costosternal
borders
- vesicular on inspiration, bronchial on expiration
- no pause between I and E
What are normal MIP (maximum inspiratory pressure) numbers?
- correct answer- Male: 95-130 cmH2o
